Episode 0.3: Searching a nest

12 April 1997: Dragon Island 11h12

Angelina wakes up from her sleep. She starts to feel heavier than usual. It's been a few days since she feels that way and she has stomach ache a few time. She then looks at herself in the mirror and she sees something she didn't expect. Her belly has started to get bigger. She touched her belly and she feels something hard under her scales. She knows what is going on. She remembers how it happens.

Two weeks ago, she has sex with her mate and they were pretty loud and active. She thought she was in her infertile period and she accepts it. She thinks for a while and she realises she forgot one very important detail. They have this relationship in the line of fertility. After a relationship, it takes 3 days before a female dragon is out of risk of having a baby...And she was fertile 2 days after the sex with the DD. She is now pregnant of a future child. She is both happy about it and also worried. How will the DD reach to this? She knows she has to be away from the Island for a while. She has to meet with her mate...She just doesn't know he will react to this. The DD doesn't want to have a child right now and he doesn't even want to think about it. It's not because he doesn't want to have a child. It's because he isn't ready to love and take care of a child, his child. He is afraid to be a bad father.

She decides to walk out of her house when she hears someone knocking at the door. She knows there's only one dragon that knocks 4 times with a silence before knocking again. She walks at the door and she opens it.

"Hi dad." Says Angelina.

"Hello my little sunshine." Says Odin. "How are you doing?" He looks at her and he notices she has gain weight. He also notices that her posture isn't the one of a fat dragon. She seems to have some weight in her belly.

"I am doing fine." Says Angelina.

"I'm starting to be worry about you. You disappear more and more often and you talk less and less to me." Says her father Odin. "You seem to keep secret from me...You're father. What is going on?"

"Nothing is going on...The DD is really hard to get. He's smart and strong so it takes me more time to get him." Says Angelina.

"But...Seven years already pass since you begin your mission...And now you're belly is getting bigger...Are you sure this problem is affecting you and you want to eat more?" Asks Odin.

"You...You are right...I am feeling a little down but everything is going alright." Lies Angelina.

"Come here." Says Odin. Angelina moves closer and her father hugs her. "Maybe you should rest for now. You need to stop your mission for a while...I'll take it over."

"No!...I have to do it...You need to do your work here...I...I have to go now!...See you later dad!" Says Angelina quickly and runs outside and fly away.

"...My little sunshine...What is happening to you?" Asks Odin worried for her. He closes his eyes for a few seconds and he walks for his work.

Paris: 15h17

Angelina lands near a building and she starts to upchuck for a while. The egg in her belly is squishing her stomach and makes her upchuck every time she makes too much effort. She stays there for a while and she starts to feel better. She then opens her wings and she searches for the DD.

She is starting to feel weak with her empty stomach. After searching for a while, she has no choice but to land on a roof. She is sitting on the roof for a while and she is waiting for him. After a while, the DD appears and he lands besides her. Angelina is easy to stop off with her golden scale and her scent Angelina looks at him and she can see his worried eyes looking at her.

"Sweetie...What is wrong?" Asks the DD.

"I'm feeling sick...My stomach is empty by the effort." Says Angelina.

"You should have stayed home." Says the DD.

"No...I have to meet you fast...Because of my sickness." Says Angelina.

"Don't tell me I give you a STD!" Shouts the DD. "You are my first one! I cannot have given it to you!"

"You are my first one too! It's not about it!" Shouts Angelina.

"What do you need?" Asks the DD. "I might prepare some potion to make you feel better."

"Listen...I need to tell you-" But the DD cut her.

"Are you sure you don't want a special potion...I may make something for you soon."

"Honey! Listen!" She shouts since she doesn't want to argue with her.

"What is it?" Asks the DD.

"Did you notice something?" She asks.

"You've getting fatter...Must be something you eat." Comments the DD.

It wasn't a good answer; he receives a punch in the stomach and a hard one.

"ARGH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" He screams in pain.

"Wrong answer!" She shouts furiously.

"What is it then?" Asks the DD.

"I...I am pregnant." Says Angelina.

The DD eyes went bigger.

"You...Y..." The DD eyes change form and he closes it when he falls on his back; unconscious.

"Great...Now I have 2 weights giving me trouble." Says Angelina.

She feels a little weak and she sits next to the DD and she waits for him to come back to his senses.

One hour has passed before the DD starts waking up.

"Urgh...What happen?" Asks the DD.

"You fall unconscious." Answers Angelina.

"So...Did I just dream...About you being pregnant?" Asks the DD nervously.

"No...It is real." Says Angelina.

"..." The DD was about to lose consciousness once again.

"NOT THIS TIME!" Shouts Angelina slapping the DD head.

"Ouch! Alright! Alright!" Shouts the DD.

"Good...I didn't expect you to freak out about it." Asks Angelina.

"Of course I'll freak out! I'm not ready! What can I do? What should I do with our soon to be child?!" Shouts the DD panicking.

"Calm down...I know you'll be fine. I know you can do it." Says Angelina with a smile.

"What makes you think I'll be a good father?! I don't know anything about being a father...Nothing!" Shouts the DD.

"I do not know about how being a good mother! But it is useless to panic about it...Do...Do you want our child?" She asks worried after seeing his reaction.

"...Of course yes! I want him...I'm just afraid of not being a good father for him." Says the DD.

"I'm glad you like our child already." Says Angelina with a smile.

"I'm...I'm going to be a father...I...I still can't believe it...This...This is the..." Tears appear from the DD eyes. Tears of happiness. "I'm going to be a father...This is...The best moment of my life...I want to share it with you." He then takes Angelina and he hugs her. "Me...A daddy...This is a dream come true."

"I'm so happy I'm bearing our child." Says Angelina. "But...Where shall I lay the egg?"

"I...No in a human city...But we can't do it at the Dragon Island either." Says the DD.

"I can't return there too...They'll know I love someone and Odin will search for the father...They will then find you and...I do not know what will happen to me and dad after this...What do we do?" Asks Angelina.

"We will do it the old fashion way." Says the DD. "We will find a cavern in a mountain and we will raise him there."

"You want us to find a nest...I guess this is the only way...But...I'm not sure...If I can fly that long." Says Angelina.

"...Hum...Climb on my back." Says the DD. "I'm strong enough to carry both of us."

"Alright." Says Angelina. She climbs on the DD back.

He opens his wing and he starts flying in the air. They start searching for their perfect nest for their future child.

5 days later

They have search for the nest during 5 days and they haven't find the perfect spot yet. Angelina belly has inflate more and they egg was ready to be lay at any time now. They have reached the Pyrenees.

"I still can't believe you have such hard taste Angelina...Is it your instinct kicking in?" Asks the DD.

"Y...Yeah." Says Angelina who seems to contain something.

"The first one was too dry...The next one was too humid...The other one was too hot...Too cold...Too much artistic...Not artistic enough...What is it?" Asks the DD when he notices Angelina grapping the DD stronger.

"It's been a while...I...I want...To...lay the...egg...But...We haven't...found nest." Says Angelina painfully.

"What?! We have to hurry then!" Shouts the DD.

They continue searching for a nest when Angelina spots one.

"There!" She shouts.

The DD immediately enters in the cavern and Angelina gets off of the DD back. He then takes her and he helps her moving in the cavern. She starts looking around and she search for any problem with this cavern. After a while, she didn't see anything wrong. It is not too much humid, not too much dry, the air in the cavern is pure, not too hot or too cold and it is close to a small village if they need anything.

"This is the perfect cavern." Says Angelina.

"Good." Says the DD. He sits against one wall of the cavern and puts Angelina against him. He then embraces her with his arms and love. "We have a nest for our child."

"Finally...I think I'll rest a littlll...No...I don't think I can." Says Angelina suddenly in pain.

"Honey! What do you need?" Asks the DD.

"Sheet...Towel...Anything!" She shouts. "I need anything that can keep the egg warm!"

"Calm down..." Says the DD.

Angelina shouts in pain and she pushes backward against the DD stomach and she squishes him one second before stopping it.

"Alright...I'll get what you need." Says the DD.

The DD gets out of the cavern fast when he hears Angelina shouts in pain when she starts laying the egg. He flies down to a small village and he starts stealing any soft and warm tissues he can find, towel and sheets for her. He then comes back and he hears nothing.

"Oh no!" He says. He runs inside the cavern and starts looking for Angelina. He thinks something bad happen to her. He then sees her exhausted against the wall of the cavern. She is breathing hard, the egg is against her chest and she is warming it. "...I've miss the moment!" Whines the DD.

"Do not worry...Here's our child." Says Angelina calmer. Her voice shows that she has not a lot of strength anymore.

"You can rest now." Says the DD. He puts everything he gets against the ground and he gently takes the egg. He then puts it on the tissues he stoles and he puts sheet around it to keep it warm. He then walks closer to Angelina. He sits against the wall and he puts her against him once again. "Sleep now. You deserve it."

Angelina starts resting against the DD.

"You know...You were very heavy...I didn't think I could make it here...Sometime...I thought you were a dead weight for me." Says the DD. He chuckles after he says it. "Urgh!" He whines when he receives her elbow directly on his stomach.

"You were a dead weight too when you panic over the fact that I have an egg in me!" She replies. "You crack under the pressure...And it was over our egg."

"You took me by surprise." Says the DD.

"I tell you because...I know you'll be there for him...I know he will never be hurt with you around." Says Angelina with a warm smile over the egg and then for DD.

"Of course not...If I am ready." Says the DD.

"Say...What is your real name?" Asks Angelina. "I have to know it...And your son too...After all...We are a family."

"...True...Let me tell you then..." He then whispered his name to Angelina.

"Why do you whisper it to me?" Asks Angelina.

"I want to tell it myself to my child...When he'll be old enough to speak." Says the DD.

"True...Speaking of him...I think it is time I ask you a question." Says Angelina. "I never wanted to ask it before...But...With our egg here...I have to say it...Will you...Think about what I'm going to say...I...I want you to think...If you...Can give the humans...A second chance and forgive them?"

"What?!...Never! I will never stop until I have my revenge!" Shouts the DD.

"I ask you because of our future child! I...I do not want him to be caught in this...I want him to grow in peace...Not with violent thought and desire for vengeance." Says Angelina. "It's for our child."

"Never!" Replies the DD furiously.

"I just ask you to think about it! I want you with our child...I do not want to be force and put you in jail...Or worse...The seal." Says Angelina.

"..." The DD calm down but says nothing else.

"I'll...Think about it." Says the DD.

"Take your time." Says Angelina. "It's all what I ask." She then starts closing her eyes and she falls asleep against the DD.

"I promise I will think." Says the DD. For you...And our child.
